IPS Display 3 Click

IPS Display 3 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of the IPS Display 3 Click board by showing a practical example of using the implemented functions.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.IPSDisplay3

Example Key Functions

• ipsdisplay3_cfg_setup This function initializes Click configuration structure to initial values.

void ipsdisplay3_cfg_setup ( ipsdisplay3_cfg_t *cfg );

• ipsdisplay3_init This function initializes all necessary pins and peripherals used for this Click board.

err_t ipsdisplay3_init ( ipsdisplay3_t *ctx, ipsdisplay3_cfg_t *cfg );

• ipsdisplay3_default_cfg This function executes a default configuration of IPS Display 3 Click board.

err_t ipsdisplay3_default_cfg ( ipsdisplay3_t *ctx );

• ipsdisplay3_fill_screen This function fills the screen with the selected color.

err_t ipsdisplay3_fill_screen ( ipsdisplay3_t *ctx, uint16_t color );

• ipsdisplay3_write_string This function writes a text string starting from the selected position in configured font size with a specified color.

err_t ipsdisplay3_write_string ( ipsdisplay3_t *ctx, ipsdisplay3_point_t start_pt, uint8_t *data_in, uint16_t color );

• ipsdisplay3_draw_line This function draws a line with a specified color.

err_t ipsdisplay3_draw_line ( ipsdisplay3_t *ctx, ipsdisplay3_point_t start_pt, ipsdisplay3_point_t end_pt, uint16_t color );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    ipsdisplay3_cfg_t ipsdisplay3_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    ipsdisplay3_cfg_setup( &ipsdisplay3_cfg );
    IPSDISPLAY3_MAP_MIKROBUS( ipsdisplay3_cfg, MIKROBUS_POSITION_IPSDISPLAY3 );
    if ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == ipsdisplay3_init( &ipsdisplay3, &ipsdisplay3_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( IPSDISPLAY3_ERROR == ipsdisplay3_default_cfg ( &ipsdisplay3 ) )

        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Showcases the text writing example as well as drawing pictures and objects, and filling the whole screen with a desired color. All data is logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
